Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown is the prohibitive 1-2 favorite for
Saturday's 133rd Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore,
MD. The colt will face 12 other three-year-olds in the $1 million, 1
3/16 mile race. Owned by IEAH Stables and Paul Pompa Jr., Big Brown is
undefeated in four career starts, having won the races by a total of
nearly 34 lengths. The three-year-old will again be ridden by Kent
Desormeaux and the pair will start from post seven. Desormeaux won the
1998 Preakness aboard Real Quiet.
Arkansas Derby champ Gayego is the only other Kentucky Derby horse to
be entered in the second leg of racing's Triple Crown.
A victory on Saturday would put Big Brown just one win, the Belmont
Stakes, away from becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner and the first
since Affirmed did it back in 1978.
